Brazil v Germany (Semi Final) Tuesday 8th July 2014

well said.
I suppose now it'll all be 'Brazil need a total overhaul, they play too much futsal and don't learn the basics of defending'
Spain too, they have too many small players and focus too much on technique.
When Germany next lose I'll think of something that's wrong with them. not enough creativity perhaps. everyone loves to attribute these things to some failure of the system instead of acknowledging that football is often a bit random, plus teams come and go for all sorts of reasons, often based on two our three players.
shit happens sometimes. Germany have a good side right now, brazil not so much, but I'm sure they'll be in the running again next time

Yup, well said too. Still amazes me how one match can apparently sum up entire schools of footballing philosophy.

Brazil haven't been very good all tournament. Fine, lot's of teams scrape by. But they just fell apart tonight and it's a milestone for Brazilian football.
 
Brazil were robbed. Biased refereeing and flukey goals from Germany. Clearly a conspiracy by FIFA to hand the trophy to the Germans.

It was that defeat which kickstarted this German team into action, so in many ways, this was a win for England :cool:

It's a bit Greek myth really - our moment of victory setting in motion events that would ultimately lead to our greatest foe's triumph over the entire world*.

But don't worry, our own FA have got great plans for the future :rolleyes: :facepalm:





*possibly :hmm:

well exactly, they're not a great side and they folded tonight after conceding a quick flurry of goals.
A bad night at the office, but I don't think it's particularly down to a failure of Brazilian football, maybe some tinkering needed is all.
Germany haven't been that good all tournament either, but had a great night tonight.

Likewise our own wheels have been in motion since that *other night*. Really.
 
Fucking cringeworthy seeing the Neymar shirt stunt during the national anthem,backfired on Brazil bigtime

I dunno. Mor knowledgeable people than me have been saying Brazilian football is generally in a bit of a state.

I'm pretty sure they'll sort it out before England does though.
